Research In Motion Ltd. said sales to U.S. federal agencies are rising and the BlackBerry is still a White House fixture, a bright spot for a company struggling with plunging demand amid competition from the iPhone.
The company’s share of the government market is probably increasing, Scott Totzke, senior vice president of BlackBerry security, said in an April 5 interview in Washington. He declined to say whether President Barack Obama is still a user, though he said the White House is a “strategic” customer.
